If you&#8217;ve been yearning for drama and excitement, fear not \u2013 I&#8217;ve got just the tale for you.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let me spill the beans, folks. I had these grand plans for Christmas and New Year, but my body decided to throw a curveball that caught us all off guard. On 22\/12, I found myself as the lead actor in my very own illness drama. Fever, chills, and a boat trip to my brother&#8217;s place \u2013 because who doesn&#8217;t love to travel when they feel like they&#8217;ve been trampled by reindeer?<\/p>\n<p>Upon reaching my brother&#8217;s haven, my audition for admission was nothing short of spectacular. I spent my days in their basement guest room, delivering a show-stopping performance featuring vomiting, fever, and watery diarrhea. An entertainment extravaganza! I practically felt like I had won an Oscar for diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to the 27th, and there I was in the hospital, displaying my remarkable rendition of a raisin. My liver decided to take an early retirement, and I basked in four days of luxurious IV. To add icing to the cake, I got to return home to &#8220;celebrate&#8221; New Year&#8217;s. Champagne was swapped out for water, and the gourmet feast featured the latest trend \u2013 boiled fish.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the doctors are as clueless as I am about the internal circus. No cool viruses or trendy bacteria \u2013 just a mystery that could potentially be a parasite. A parasite, really? I might be trendier than I give myself credit for.<\/p>\n<p>Here I am, my friends, ready to embrace the new year with a healthy dose of Proviva, water, and a diet that would make a goldfish green with envy.<br \/>\nI may not have had a traditional Christmas or New Year, but hey, at least I survived the drama cavalcade.<\/p>\n<p>And let&#8217;s not forget to raise a glass to my trooper of a husband who has been by my side throughout this entire ordeal. His unwavering support has been my saving grace, turning this chaotic experience into a somewhat bearable journey.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for a plot twist that even I didn&#8217;t see coming \u2013 due to extreme dehydration, there were no veins left to use for blood tests. The medical team eventually unearthed one on my foot. Yes, my foot! I counted a total of 14 needle jabs in my arms, hands, and feet. So PLEASE, dear readers, remember to stay hydrated throughout the day. Let my adventure serve as a reminder that a glass of water might just spare you the unconventional experience of foot-vein exploration.<br \/>\nCheers to hydration and a happy, healthy new year! \ud83e\udd42<\/p>\n<p>I have a water bottle to fill and well stuff to get done.<br \/>\nUntil later my hydrated friends, until later.<\/p>\n<p>\/L<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello dear readers, and welcome to my glamorous post recounting the epic rollercoaster that was my Christmas and New Year!
